It’s Moby!

Look at all that hair! Moby — real name Richard Melville Hall — grew up in Connecticut, where he sat for this yearbook snap as a 16-year-old kid.Now 47, Moby rose to worldwide fame after the 1999 release of his hit album Play.His stage name derives from his possible distant relation to Moby Dick author Herman Melville. “The basis for Richard Melville Hall — and for Moby — is that supposedly Herman Melville was my great-great-great-granduncle,” Moby once explained to CNN.
